William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939) was an Irish poet and dramatist, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.

His most famous works include The Tower (1928) and Cathleen Ní Houlihan (1902). Yeats was interested in mysticism, but a large percentage of his work also reflected the beautiful Irish countryside where he grew up.

In 1932 he founded the Irish Academy of Letters, and shortly before his death he published TheOxford Book of Modern Verse (1936).

Some of the last lines he wrote before dying were:

Cast a cold eye

On life, on death.

Horseman; pass by!"

State Assembly members are elected representatives of each Indian State. There are normally between four and nine State Assembly members for each Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha (The Indian Parliament, also known as The House of the People).

State Assembly members must be Indian citizens over the age of 25. They are voted in for a term of five years, but this can be extended by six months if necessary.

The State Assembly members have the power to make laws in all areas where the Parliament cannot legislate. These include policing, agriculture and public health.
